never the enemy of the people in this
broader sense. There may be instances
of individual oppression, unfair exact
ions and Determinations against indi-
viduals and localities for time, which
cannot be justified. But despite thess
exceptions. the railroads which have
been built west of the Missouri river
have done great things in the way of
material development. 1t is true that
they have created colossal fortunes for
their owners, but on the other hand
they have also created vastly more
wealth outside of the limited circle Of
very rich railroad magnates. The wo&
of creation goes on. There is limit to
individual fortunes. The millionaire
die and their fortunes are speedily scat
tered, but the aggregate wealth which
the railroads have created and distribu-
ted will remain. Every farm will have
an increasing valuation. Even the
mountain valleys Of our own locality
which we now consider worthless on
account of their isolation will invite
population and have value at later
day when Camas prairie is terracea
with railroads. In comparison With
this aggregate increase of wealth in the
country made prosperous by the pres
ence of railroads, that of all the million
aires in the country is but bagatelle.
Every mile of railroad which is built
creates wealth in the manner suggested.
And this larger influence is deserving
of consideration by the demagogs who
attempt to inflame the public mind by
denuncation of railroads as gigantic
monopolies and soulless corporations
as illustrated by some special instance
of oppressive operation. These latter
will steadily disappear under wise leg
islation and the creation of healthy
public opinion. Speaking for Camas
prairie and its tributary country we
extend cordial welcome to any and all
railroad corporations who may contem-
plate extending their systems hither,
to operate upon this community with
the view of demonstrating the broad
and beneficial results which railroads
confer upon an isolated people. 1t will
be time enough to consider the excres-
ences and irritations which may arise
from the exactons of oppressive opera
ton after the road is built.

J. H, Rico and Roll Brown came in
from Buffalo Hump last week, accom-
panied by Joe Baker from American

and having rough time getting out.
Hon. A. f. Parker spent the sabbath
here and assured us that he has all the
financial backing he wants to construct
telephone line between Grangeville
and the county seat, and to ultimately
extend it to Cottonwood and Lewiston
as soon as there is business enough to
pay dividend on the investment. He
will have the aforementioned part of the
line built directly the material arrives.
The Grangeville folks will be glad to
hear that Crunk has killed bar in the
Hump country, but not before the bar
had run him up a tree after hard
chase. Crunk swears that it was the
biggest bar in the mountains, and he
estimated its length at fifty-four feet,
and its height at sixteen feet, although
at the time he was somewhat excited,
and possibly inaccurate. He has pro-
missed to bring in the robe of the var
mint and present it to the Press man.

May 18th 1887. !
Yesterday (1hursday) forenoon the
dwelling house of Chas. Bemis, of this
place was burnt up with nearly all its
contents. The fire caught in the roof
in some unknown manner, and had
gained such Roadway that next to moth
ing could be got out of the house. The
loss is considerable; $500 in greenbacks
were consumed and several costly gold
watches belonging to various parties,
and other iewelry worth about $1,000
A large sum of coin and gold dust was
recovered from the ruins without much
loss. All the provisions, household fur
niture, ETC., went up in smoke. Many
people have no idea in how few min
utes fire in dry wood house gets
beyond control. The balance of the
town are now on their taps and looking
after chimneys and stove pipes, but
after little while the same old thought
less way will continue till the town
burns up. N. B. w.

FOOD FRAUDS.
The Shameful Use of Lime and Alum In
Cheap Baking Powder.

The Shameful Use of Lime and Alum In
Cheap Baking Powder.
Many food frauds, such as chicory cof-
fee or watered milk, although they are
swindle in a commercial sense, are often
tolerated because they do not psrticu-
larly affect the health of the consumer.
but when an article like baking powder
that enters largely into the food Of every
family, and Is relied upon for the prepa-
ration Of almost every meal Ia so made
as to carry highly Injurious, II not rank
ly poisonous, elements In the bread, the
entire community is endangered, and IL
Is the duty OF the press to denOunce the
practice in the most emphatic terms.
Among the important discoveries by
the food analysis is that by Prof. Mott,
the United States government chemist,
OF large amounts OF alum In the cheap
In the cheap baking powders. These
are, one the most dangerous, and the
other the most useless adulterant yet
found In the low grade, inferior baking
powders. 1t Is a startling fact that OF
the many brands Of baking powders So
far analysed, none OF them, with the
single exception Of the Royal Baking
Baking Powder, was found free from
both lime and alum. The chief service
OF lime Is TO add weight. 1t Is true that
lime, when subjected to heat. gives Off a
certain amount of carboDic acid gas. but
quick lime Is left a oaustic so power
full that IL is used by tAnn,rs to
eat the hair from hides OF AMI
mails, and in dIssecting rooms to
more quickly rot the flesh from the
bones OF dead SUBJECTS. A small quanti-
ty OF dry lime upon the tongue, or In
the eye, produces painful effects; how
much more serious must these effects be
on the delicate membranes OF tue stom-
ach, intestines and kidneys, more par
ticularly of infants and children, and es-
pecially when the lime is taken into the
system day after day, and with almost
every meal. This is said by physicians
to be one OF the causes OF indigestion,
dyspepsia, and those painful diseases Of
the kidneys now so prevalent. Instances
Of the most serious affections Of the lat
ter organs from drinking lime water
found in some sections are noted In every
medical journal.
Adulteration with lime Is quite
as much to be dreaded as with
alum, which has heretofore re-
ceived the most emphatic condemnation
from every food analyst, physician and
chemist, for the reason that, while alum
is probably partially dissolved and
passed of in gas by the heat Of baking,
it is impossible to destroy or change the
nature Of the lime in any degree, so that
the entire amount in the baking powder
passes, with all its injurious properties,
into the stomach. When we state that
the chemists have found IL per cent, or
one-eighth Of the entire weight Of some
samples Of baking powder analysed, to
be lime, the wickedness Of the adulters-
ton will be apparent.
Pure baking powders are one Of the
chief aids to the cook In preparing per-
feet and wholesome food. While those
are to be obtained OF we'll established
reputation, like the Royal, of whose
purity there has never been question,
IL Is proper TO avoid all others.

Fire and Loss Of Life.

CHICAGO, April 13.-J. j. McGrath's
wall paper house, located in a fve-stOry
building on Wabash avenue, was totally
destroyed by fire early this morning.
The stock an eDtirO loss, and building
irreparably injured; front and rear walls
ruined.
The fire was attended by two fatalities
to pipemen. Michael Burnes WAS stand
ing in fourth story window when q
sheet OF flames came out and eDveloped
him, and he fell in n blazing mass in
side.
Mr.. John Heberlie was climbing a lad
der to the second story, when it slipped
and he fell to the sidewalk
crushing his skull. Capt. Fred Reese
had his leg broken by a falling stone.
The fire was discovered at $3.50 o'clock.
When the tircmen arrived the fire was
in the center of the building, but before
the hose could be brought tn bear the
flames had jumped from story
to story, above and below,
and seized rapidly upon every
infammable stuff which the floors
were loaded A second and third
alarm were turned in and twenty en-
gines were soon working upon the build
ing. The firemen say they never saw go
rapid and complete a destruction OF 80
large an establishment. The fire was
out at o'clock, and owing to the exer-
tions of the firemen little If any damage
was done TO the adjoining buildings,
which are occupied by wholesale Jew
elry and millinery houses. Loss on
building and stock estimated at 1925, 900;
onlg partially insured.

Vetoes High License.

ALBANY, N. Y, April Ex-Governor
Hill sent TO the assembly last night a
message vetoing the recently passed
high license bill, and on motion Of Mr..
Crosby, promoter Of the measure, il was
laid on the table. The veto 10 put upon
these grounds: First, it Is special legis-
latiOn, because IL applies only to the
cities of New York and Brookly n,
notwithstanding the fact that in the una
jOrity Of other cities and towns OF the
state the number OF dram shops Ia great
er than In these, in proportion to popu-
lation. Second. Because come of it's pro-
visions are unconstitutional. The mes
sage Is accompanied by opinions from
attorney general and from ex judge
COmstock sustaining that view.
The governor expressly reserves an
expression of his own views on the sub
ject OF high license; recites the position
OF high license and prohibition adyO-
Gates and that of the Germans, on the
other hand, all of whom he prOnOunces
we'll meaning citizens. AS to its alleged
motives actuating legislature in passing
the bill he says, while the question OF
temperance is not party question
and cannot well be made such, yet IL Is
impossible to ignore the political as
poets of the measure, especially when
II is we'll know that its support has been
made the subject of consideration, at
party caucus of the majority of the
legislature, and where IL has been in
geniously devised and peculiarly framed
80 as to operate solely upon The Two
great democratic constituencies of The
state, while republican cities and con-
stituencies are exempted from its bur.
dens.
